As demand for faster and more efficient computing grows, the limitations of classical computers are becoming increasingly evident. The next frontier in computing—quantum technology—promises exponential speed-ups for certain algorithms and the ability to process massive datasets in entirely new ways.
Quantum computing has the potential to redefine industries, from pharmaceuticals and materials science to logistics and finance. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, these systems can solve optimization problems, simulate molecular interactions, and enhance machine learning models far beyond the capabilities of classical computers.
At the same time, quantum technology presents new challenges, particularly in cybersecurity. Quantum computers could break today’s encryption standards in minutes, necessitating the development of quantum-resistant cryptographic methods. Organizations must start preparing now to stay ahead of these changes.
Just as Niels Bohr would have liked it, Copenhagen is the global KPMG hub for quantum technology and services. We help organizations understand, prepare for, and leverage quantum computing through tailored workshops, proof-of-concept projects, and quantum-inspired optimization solutions.
Our “Think new, do new” workshops equip business leaders with foundational knowledge of quantum technology, ensuring they can make informed strategic decisions. In addition, we collaborate with clients to explore quantum computing applications, including quantum annealing and optimization techniques. While full-scale quantum computers are still in development, quantum-inspired optimization (QIO) applies quantum principles to classical hardware, delivering immediate value. For example, we use QIO to solve complex logistics challenges, such as optimizing delivery routes to reduce fuel consumption.
While commercial quantum computing is still evolving, early adoption and preparation are key. By understanding quantum technology today, businesses can position themselves for success in the digital future.
